Commento su Bekhorot 4:9
הֶחָשׁוּד לִהְיוֹת מוֹכֵר תְּרוּמָה לְשֵׁם חֻלִּין, אֵין לוֹקְחִין מִמֶּנּוּ אֲפִלּוּ מַיִם אוֹ מֶלַח, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יְהוּדָה. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, כּל שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ זִקַּת תְּרוּמוֹת וּמַעַשְׂרוֹת, אֵין לוֹקְחִין מִמֶּנּוּ:
Se si sospetta di vendere Teruma come prodotto non sacro, anche il rabbino Yehudah non può acquistare acqua o sale da quella persona. Rabbi Shim'on dice: Tutto ciò che potrebbe essere responsabile nei confronti di Teruma e della decima non può essere acquistato.

English Explanation of Mishnah Bekhorot
If one is suspected of selling terumah as hullin, one may not buy even water and salt from him, the words of Rabbi Judah. Rabbi Judah rules strictly one can’t buy any food products from someone suspected of selling terumah as if it were hullin, even water and salt, which obviously are not subject to the laws of terumah. This is a punishment for the fact that he sells terumah as hullin, which is a serious offense, akin to a butcher who today would sell non-kosher meat as kosher meat.

English Explanation of Mishnah Bekhorot
Rabbi Shimon says: [one may not buy from him] whatever is connected to terumah and tithes. Rabbi Shimon rules more leniently one can’t buy from him only objects that are liable for terumah, namely agricultural products. It is permitted to buy from this person water and salt. This would be like saying today that if a kosher butcher sells non-kosher meat one could still buy drinks, bread etc. from him.
